: Hi Wes:

: I just bought that same camera (Lumix TS2) to use on kayak trips,
: and am trying to learn - I am not much of a photographer. I
: would really appreciate any pointers. Could you tell me which of
: the various modes (iA, Normal, Sports, Beach...) you use on the
: water? Are you able to let it do it's thing on the iA mode, or
: do you have to do something special to keep your water shots
: from being washed out? And do you do anything special to deal
: with water on the lens? I am a bit nervous about wiping the lens
: a lot, but I may have to get over that. I really held my breath
: the first time I put the camera under water to take pictures of
: some sea stars!

: Thanks!

I use the beach mode, which seems to compensate for the bright sun and reflections. Haven't tried it on a cloudy day, though.
The lens itself is protected by a glass cover, which I wipe gently with a soft cotton cloth and clear fresh water.
I'd upload a sample photo if I knew how. -Wes
